Commission Finds Apple and Meta in Breach of the Digital Markets Act

Pretty hard to not find them in breach when you get 0.5B if you do.

This sounds like everything is working as intended.

Both Apple and Meta deliberately delayed compliance with the new laws, but then eventually complied. And now they have to pay a penalty for the time period that they were too late. For Apple, allowing developers to show text about 3rd party payment methods is a pure policy change with almost no associated development work or cost, so they have no good excuse as to why it took them so long after the EU started their non-compliance investigation roughly a year ago.
